I once read a letter to the editor. Someone complained about having an extra hour of daylight. She said it ruined her garden. During the “spring forward” many complain about losing an hour of sleep. Well if you go to bed one hour earlier you can counteract this discrepancy. You might say, “I have trouble falling asleep!” Well, I’ve had my wrestle with insomnia, and let me tell you about this product. Non-habit forming and not as dangerous as radioactive butterflies. I tried prescription sleeping pills, but Melatonin works just as well. In fact, it might work better than anything else I’ve tried. They smell a little bit like death, but maybe that’s why they’re so effective. As the wise old Nas used to say. “Sleep is the cousin of death”.
Side note: I don’t understand why people are always saying this. “Ah, I slept like a baby last night”. I don’t consider a good night’s sleep waking up every two and a half hours. Either I need to poop in my pants or need something to eat. I think it’s time we started sleeping like grown-ups.
I hope by now you’ve set your clocks on your range and microwave an hour ahead. If you rely on those electronics to wake you up.
